Important Words:
تتقون (take as your protector) is from اتقی which means, he became God-fearing. اتقی فلاناً means, he feared such a one and was on his guard against him and avoided him. They say اتقینا به i.e. while facing an enemy we placed him in front of us shielding or protecting ourselves by him (Aqrab). See also 2:3.
